Papyrus 109 is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, containing verses 21:18-20 & 21:23-25 in a fragmentary condition. It is designated by the siglum {{papyrus|109}} in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned by the INTF to the early 3rd century CE. Papyrologist Philip Comfort dates the manuscript to the middle-late 2nd century CE.{{Cite book | first=Philip Wesley | last=Comfort | author-link=Philip Comfort | title=Encountering the Manuscripts: An Introduction to New Testament Paleography & Textual Criticism | page=76 | year=2005 | publisher=Broadman & Holman Publishers | location=Nashville, Tennessee}} The manuscript is currently housed at the Papyrology Rooms (P. Oxy. 4448) of the Sackler Library at Oxford.{{Cite web | title= Liste Handschriften: Papyrus 109 | publisher=Institute for New Testament Textual Research | location=Münster | url=http://intf.uni-muenster.de/vmr/NTVMR/ListeHandschriften.php?ObjID=10109 | access-date=27 August 2011}}

Description

The original manuscript probably measured 12 cm x 24 cm, with 26 lines per page.
